Abstract
This research aims to study and analyze the factors influencing process innovation and the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in environmental management for oyster mushroom cultivation. Additionally, it evaluates the performance of IoT innovations. The study begins by analyzing data based on the demand levels for innovation among a sample of oyster mushroom production experts using the analytica hierarchy process (AHP). AHP is an engineering management method that aids in selecting suitable innovations for community contexts, targeting three main objectives: production innovation, skilled labor, and high-quality plant-growing materials. Data were collected from 300 expert mushroom farmers located in Pathum Thani and Sa Kaeo provinces. The findings revealed comparisons of factors in each decision-making option to enhance the competitiveness of the production process and create value from agricultural waste materials suitable for oyster mushroom farmers within a community context. The importance weights of four factors were evaluated: production process innovation, waste reduction innovation, market management innovation and productivity enhancement innovation. The results indicated that the optimal technology choice was production innovation through IoT, with a significant weight of 0.453 or 45.30%. The next most important factor was high-quality plant-growing materials, with a weight of 0.380 or 38%. Moreover, the yield from June-August 2023, the period with the highest productivity for oyster mushrooms, demonstrated that IoT-based production innovations could effectively control the environmental conditions for oyster mushroom growth, resulting in higher production levels than traditional methods. The average yield from IoT implementation in oyster mushroom production reached 712.72 kilograms, compared to the traditional method’s average yield of 523.46 kilograms, representing an increase of 189.26 kilograms.
